COVID-19 is a new respiratory virus. There are no treatments for it, but most people will recover from it on their own. Some may develop pneumonia and require medical care. It is spread between people in close contact (within about 6 feet) via coughs and sneezes. It may also be spread by touching a surface or object with the virus on it.

Prevention: Prevention starts with good personal health habits. Stay home when you're sick. Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue then throw it away. Wash your hands often with soap and water. Clean frequently touched surfaces and objects thoroughly.
